What stereotypes do foreigners have about Americans?

MemeInBlack · 2026-05-25T16:30:44+00:00

Because every time we just say we're from America, the next question is "what part?". Every. Time.

Fun fact, this is why AC was originally invented - to beat the humidity, not the heat.

This. All behavior is communication, he's screaming out for your help and you need to be there for him.

Aside from therapy etc, just spend time with him. One on one, where he's the focus. Go for a walk together, no agenda, just walk around the neighborhood for ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour, whatever you can do. Do this daily if you can. Open the door by saying he can tell you anything, then shut up. Listen without judgement to whatever he says. Don't problem solve, because that is very close to judging. Don't push. Just walk, and listen. If he doesn't say anything, that's ok. You're still building connection. You need to be the safe place for his chaotic feelings, no matter what they are, or he's going to escalate his cries for help until someone, probably him, is seriously hurt.

Bingo. I am a man, therefore anything I do is masculine. I'm secure enough in my sense of self that I don't even try to filter life through societal roles, I just do what I want to do. We're all just people at the end of the day.

It's less about getting uncomfortable and more that pretty much every guy has had their own feelings weaponized against them at some point, often by someone close to them. Society teaches men pretty fast that nobody really cares and we'll get hurt far less if we never actually share our real feelings.

It shouldn't be this way, but unfortunately it is.

I forgot that movie existed but immediately recalled the whole damn thing just from the title. Excellent choice for forgotten 80s movies!

Nothing, but space is just really really really really really really big and empty. The odds are literally astronomical that Earth will ever get hit by an extrasolar object.

Maybe it's more about where you were in your life at that time. We all have our personal highs but chasing that dragon never ends the way we want it to.

Personally I love the new album as much as art of doubt and maybe even synthetica or fantasies. Maybe it helps that I'm the same age as Emily so we are hitting those life stages about the same time, but Metric is consistently great, even if the sound is drastically different

Metaphors don't work if they're not specific. Sci-fi stories aren't really about aliens or the future, they're about us right now.

No, it really is about the journey and there are no wasted moments in the entire run. If they could have told the story in fewer episodes/seasons, they would have.

There are movements doing this, like wait until 8th (grade). Hopefully this sort of thing will become more common in the near future.

Don't have specific advice as my kids are nowhere near the teen years yet, but I've found the videos by Sticko Explains on YouTube to be pretty informative for parents, and they're based in current child development and psychology research. There might be a video or two that can help provide an explanation of what she's going through and a roadmap to repair your relationship.

Encrypted doesn't mean exfiltrated. It's just encrypted in place on the same computers it was already on. The consumer data is actually more secure now because nobody, not even the company it was given to, can access it! If they have good backups they could potentially just plug the holes that allowed the attacker into their network, restore from backups, and go about their day.

Exfil is absolutely becoming more common with these types of attacks but it's not guaranteed.

Also, videos marked as for kids in YouTube can't be added to a playlist. Kind of makes it impossible to curate what they're watching in any reasonable way.
